Ahead of their guest DJ spot at this month's Great Big Kiss, I asked Astrid and Janine of London's legendary all-girl go-go dance troupe The Actionettes to put together a podcast of some of their favourite songs. The dynamic duo have come up with a super-danceable mix of northern soul, 60s girl groups, blue-eyed 60s pop, 50s r&b, and some Spanish pop (courtesy of Astrid, who's from Spain). We kick off with the brilliant "Goodbye Boys Goodbye" by Margie Mills, which is currently taking pride of place in The Actionettes' dance set, and keep on hip-shaking, hand-clapping and foot-stomping from then on!
The next Great Big Kiss is on Saturday August 8th at The Phoenix, Cavendish Square, London W1. More info here - http://www.howdoesitfeel.co.uk/greatbigkiss.html
